v0.16 — The Surface Release
The AI agent that grows with you. Now on your desktop.
Your AI, natively installed. A dedicated desktop app for Hermes that lives on your system — no browser tab needed. Launch it from your dock and start talking to your agent in seconds.
Configure everything from your browser. A clean, intuitive dashboard for managing your agent's settings, skills, memory, and connections — all from one place.
First message in seconds. From download to your first conversation in under a minute. No complex configuration, no Docker setup, no boilerplate. Just run and talk.
Find any model in milliseconds. Switch between providers and models on the fly. OpenAI, Anthropic, local Ollama instances — all accessible from a single unified interface.
Take back any mistake. One command to reverse any action. File changes, tool calls, system modifications — all reversible. Confidence to let your agent act boldly.
Only what you actually need. A streamlined skill system that reduces bloat while keeping everything powerful. Skills are modular, optional, and load on demand.
Open source, transparent, and driven by the people who use it every day.
Security is not an afterthought. Every feature ships with protection built in.
Install Hermes in one command. Free and open source.
